Real Life vs Reel Life

-

Do you like reading books that coincide with your real life? Maybe you were reading a romance book and one of the main characters happen to have the same career or job that you have or have had in the past. Does this make you more likely to read the book or do you find yourself comparing everything to what is in the book? The most common job that I had was as someone working in a grocery store. With most of the popular books being bIllionaire romance, I know it's probably less common now to find books were the main characters have basic careers. On the off chance that you do find a book like that. Does it make the story more interesting and relatable or does it make the book lean more towards a DNF for you?
I think that it would be very interesting to see that a character had a job that I could relate to. So whenever I come across a character who has a customer service type job, I always feel for them. That field is not for the faint of heart that's for sure! Since this is such a generic job, I don't usually see anything that could take me out of a story. Though even some of the billionaire romances involve some jobs that people have knowledge of. 

I admire authors who take the time to really research the field that they are giving to some of their characters so that things feel authentic to the reader. Whether you're someone who has basic knowledge of a field or a seasoned professional, things make sense and could indeed be something that happens to these characters. Have you ever read a book that just completely took you out of the story due to something being grossly inaccurate? Let me know in the comments!

Binder - ARC Review

Yall, I try not to be long winded when I do my reviews because I don't want to spoil you. Also I try to be a raving looney toon as well but this series is going to probably have the longest reviews I've written. When I say that I am head over heels for these characters, this world, the story. I truly am. Once again we are back in this world meeting so many new faces and some returning! I was so happy to see that Rogan was back! I knew it would throw an interesting wrench between Kara and Flynn and boy did it!! Rogan was just someone who was there briefly in the Prequel Breeder, but he was important to Kara. The fact that he disappeared after what happened in the prequel was investing to me and he always lingered in the back of my mind but never,  did I expect his return to be what it was!! I definitely hope we get a story on him! I just know he has an amazing story to tell!! Cal, is still a wild card for me. There are some people who have lived a long time in this series and Ca...

Daughter of No World's - Review

 This book was probably better than I thought it was going to be. I really enjoyed the characters and the world that was built. It was very light on the romance but it definitely managed to shine through when needed. I also would like to add that it did feel like it kind of dragged at certain points in the story and I would have liked if some things were sped up a little. Other than that though things were nice. The story of Max and how he came to be how he was, was tragic. Of course that's the truth of some of the "heroes" of wars. I am interested in seeing how things continue in the next book. Not only with Max, but definitely with Tisannah and the order. I also want to say that I listened to this in it's audiobook form and this was it was um...interesting. You could hear everything with this audio. I mean everything. Every breath that the voice actors took, any noise in their background, page turns and everything. I have been spoiled with these full cast audios and...

Ruthless King - Review

  This was a spicy and fun read! I really enjoyed getting to know the Sokolov brothers! Their story was tragic and crazy but definitely worth the ride that we went on in this book! This book has what you can expect from an omegaverse book, muscle bound alphas with aggression issues, middle of the road betas and the soft spoken and often over looked omegas. The omegas in this world are pretty much subject to whatever the alpha's want. They are believed to just be bed warmers. I do like the idea that the omega's have power that can only be used to it's full potential if the alpha that bonds them actually cares about them. It makes the men have to actually try to care if they want power. Most of the omega's in this world do not have access to their gifts past puberty due to them not forming bonds that are forged with love. Of course this is something that most alpha's ignore and has been lost, for the most part, to the pages of history. Until vengeance brings these two...
